New Major Knitting Project

Towards the end of last year, following a particularly enjoyable knitting course with Debbie Abrahams and heedless of the number of unstarted projects sat in my crafting storage, I signed up for Debbie's Mystery Blanket.

The first instalment arrived last weekend and I've so far resisted starting it, but I haven't been able to resist opening it and looking at the patterns and trying to get my head round the techniques. It seems a little bizarre that we're using pure wool and wool cotton but I'll trust it works; Debbie's previous mystery blankets are gorgeous.

I have a feeling that I may have to try out a tension square this weekend, don't want to get behind! But the mittens must be finished first before any serious blanket knitting commences (we'll see how long this resolution lasts!).

I'm a thirty something year old who has been crafting since I was first handed a French knitting bobbin at the age of six. I have since learned to knit, cross stitch, and sew. In very recent years I have been seriously bitten by the quilting bug, learning through classes in quilt shops and via the online community. I enjoy lots of varied hobbies, most of which will make an appearance on this blog at some point I'm sure.
